Operators in Marcellus\, Barnett\, Haynesville\, Eagle Ford\, Fayetteville and other shales are now consistently seeking out new methods to effectively source\, transport\, dispose and re-use water for hydraulic fracturing to maximize the profitability of shale gas production and remain competitive in a fast-growing market. The Shale Gas Water Management: 2011 Initiative will be bringing the most innovative shale gas operators to Dallas to critically examine the most cost-effective sourcing strategies\,treatment techniques and disposal options in the states of Texas\, Pennsylvania and Louisiana. Furthermore\, senior thought leaders and technical experts from the most established shale gas companies will examine how to drive down the cost of transporting and storing produced water by using centralized impoundments or building temporary pipelines. Lastly\, legal frameworks concerning sourcing\, transporting and disposing of produced water in Texas\, Pennsylvania and Louisiana will be analyzed to comply with the changing regulations and reduce permitting timelines. On day one\, key industry experts from leading operators will examine best practices for water management that they have evaluated and adopted. They will examine available recycling technologies and explain the economics behind their decision to recycle all produced water or dispose of it. Disposal well availability and alternative methods of disposal such as surface discharge will also be evaluated both from regulatory and technical standpoints. On day two\, speakers will address sourcing issues and the future of water resources in the USA to decrease the overall demand for water and find alternative sources of water for hydraulic fracturing. Shale gas operators will determine the most cost-effective logistical strategies examining transportation methods and storage including advice on how to successfully construct\, maintain and reclaim pits or impoundments and explain how to work efficiently within strict regulatory confinements of each state. Finally\, industry leaders will focus on the groundwater contamination issue and how to minimize the risk of leaks and address growing community concerns as well as protect operators against possible legal claims. The Shale Gas Water Management: 2011 Initiative is the most advanced and focused event concentrating wholly on delivering practical solutions to the key issues in shale gas water management to ensure operators implement the most cost-effective long-term strategies for sourcing\, transporting\, treating\, re-using and disposing of flowback and produced water.

The unconventional oil & gas industry now faces scrutiny on a daily basis from the media\, NGOs and the public on issues relating to claims about the impact of hydraulic fracturing on water resources. Additionally\, the power of social media is allowing misinformation and the environmentalist agenda to be spread at an increasingly rapid rate. The need for a united front to project a transparent and accurate account of the process has never been more important to ensuring the sustainability of the industry and protect it from calls for intrusive regulation. Because of this\, devising a comprehensive media and stakeholder relations strategy\, leveraging mass media\, social media and grassroots community support to overcome public concern over hydraulic fracturing has become of central importance to the commercial viability of unconventional oil & gas operators. Media & Stakeholder Relations: Hydraulic Fracturing Initiative 2011 will bring together senior communications professionals from leading unconventional oil & gas operators\, including social media industry pioneers and media and stakeholder relations specialists to drive proactive media relations strategies\, stakeholder engagement plans\, employee and stakeholder advocacy and crisis communications strategy to determine best practices for engaging the public on a positive image for the shale gas industry. Over two days The Media & Stakeholder Relations: Hydraulic Fracturing Initiative 2011 will comprehensively address the key issues in driving successful media and stakeholder relations and will also give delegates the opportunity to hear from multiple stakeholders including NGOs\, the media and community representatives to glean industry-outsiders views of the issue. Day one commences with an expert panel discussing media relations strategy and case studies providing effective techniques and pitfalls in developing comprehensive strategies for dealing with the media\, educating the public and overcoming concern over hydraulic fracturing. The use of social media within the industry will then be examined\, providing case studies of effective social media campaigns\, examining how to best protect brands online\, and evaluating the increasing importance of new media.

Canada’s fledging shale gas industry however faces a growing clamor for tighter regulation and greater protection of local water sources\, which is forcing Canadian companies to address and adopt best practice strategies\, and innovative methods for better managing water at every stage. Canadian Shale Gas Water Management Initiative 2011 endeavors to critically examine the most cost-effective water sourcing strategies & optimal treatment\, re-use and disposal technologies for shale gas production in Canada. Furthermore\, this leading event will examine the viability of alternative water sources and strategies in place to maximize the amount of flowback and produced water re-used for shale gas completions. On day one of the event\, Ministers\, VPs and Directors will open the event by addressing how operators are sourcing the large volumes of water required for hydraulic fracturing in the most timely and cost effective way. Following this they will examine the viability of alternative sources and provide a case study presentation of the latest advances in using deep saline aquifers. Furthermore\, they will then highlight current and future regional water sourcing regulations followed by determining the optimal treatment levels and latest treatment technologies required to re-use water. Finally\, a cost-benefit analysis on disposal methods will be determined for produced water that cannot be re-used. On day two\, speakers will examine the latest strategies and technologies to reduce the volumes of water used in hydraulic fracturing and evaluate the factors determining water volumes. The focus will then turn to logistical strategies that can be applied to ease the reliance on trucking. Water storage and transport solutions will be examined followed by a detailed evaluation of how winter operations can impact all stages of water handling. Furthermore\, speakers will address the optimal water quality to minimize damage to shale formations.
